I have come to realize many things in this journey called life.
Most of all, that it’s up to me to look after myself and my happiness.
If I can’t do that, I can’t expect anyone else to do that, either.
I have to go where I’m wanted and stay where I want to be..
Not try to make people like me or force myself upon anyone else.
That never turns out well.
No, I have to turn and walk away from the people, places and things that tear me down, disrespect me and make me feel badly.
If someone doesn’t know my worth, it’s not up to me to prove it to them.
The right people will always get me…no proving anything necessary.
They will be the ones that love me unconditionally and support me all the time, regardless of rain or shine.
I’m walking away from the rest- the toxic people, the selfish ones and the ones with agendas.
I have to do what’s best for me if I’m going to be truly happy.
No more game players, users and abusers.
I’m filing my life with the unique, genuine and beautifully brave souls that enrich my life and make my heart happy.
The rest of them?
Well, they can keep doing whatever they want to do..
So long as they do it away from me.
I’ve got a train to happiness to catch.
Next stop: adventure.

As always, thank you so much for your support!

You don't know me
You know the words that I write
And a soul that just bleeds
But you don't know me.
You think that I'm the one
Who'll turn blind eyes away
From the bu****it you're selling
To buy a new day
But you don't know me.
I see you, now, you know
In Technicolor bright
And karma has a way
Of bringing things to light
You think because I'm darkness
I'm the villain in the tale
What you fail to understand is
I'm the balance in the scale
So just know now that I'm watching
And know now that I see
And know you thought you did, but
You never did Know me.

Looking back, I should have known you were wrong for me in so many ways, but my heart wouldn’t listen.
While my intuition was screaming silently, I fell head over heels for you..
But now, I wonder if that was really even you at all.
Maybe you showed me what I wanted to see, showered me with love I wanted to feel and showed me a future that I wanted to believe in.
It’s hard to turn off your feelings when everything seems to be clicking...
Until it doesn’t any more.
I wonder now if it was just a game to you or you simply pursued me to feed your ego- I’ll never really know for sure.
What I do know is that when you left, you shattered my heart into a million pieces.
Truthfully, I should have seen the red flags and warning signs, but we often close our eyes to the truth when feelings are involved.
I’ll never say I regret our time together or what happened, because it taught me a lot about myself, love and what I’ll never allow again.
The bad taste in my mouth still lingers, but with each passing day, it lessens just a little more.
Soon, you’ll just be a faded memory and a lesson I had to learn.
I wish it didn’t have to be this way, but deep down, I know this is exactly what we need to break our cycle of toxicity..and I’m torn between sadness and relief.
The pain I felt with you has made me stronger, wiser and deeper, and the next time around, I’m not going to be blind.
I’ll embrace the opportunity to find love if it comes calling, but I’m not knocking on that door any time soon.
I’m too busy making myself and my life better, not bitter.
I don’t need to be fixed, saved or completed..
I just want to be appreciated, respected and loved for who I am.
The right person will get that and I’ll never have to ask for the things I expect and deserve.
This time, I’m finding my love within, not with men.
And that,darling, will make all the difference.
I’m worth that and much, much more.

We’re all just trying to find our way in this life.
I’ll stumble and fall, so will you.
Sometimes, I’ll land flat on my face..you will, too.
It's those moments, when we are at our lowest, that we can lift each other up, not put others down.
What sets us apart, what makes us better...
Is our kindness, our humanity.
We all need a helping hand.
We all need compassion and love.
It takes so little to pay it forward, to help another up, to give someone hope.
You don’t have to make light of another’s shortcomings to make your light shine brighter.
Don't put out another's light to make yours shine brighter.
Character is doing the right thing when no one else is looking.
Help touch up her makeup.
Straighten his suit.
Pay for a stranger's meal.
Volunteer at a shelter.
You never know when someone might desperately need your help.
A kind word may be all it takes to save a life.
I’m not always great and there are days that get the best of me..
But together, you and I, we can make a difference,
One small light and then another..
Until we, together, form a chain of impenetrable light, hope and love.
One fire may not light the darkness, but a multitude of fires can create a giant blaze..
So, let's do that.
Let's worry less about what we have and don’t have and more about what we can do.
If you're feeling down, hopeless or just can't find the reason to be happy, help someone else..
Take it from me, you'll be amazed how good selfless kindness feels.
Don’t let an opportunity pass you by to lend a hand, pay a compliment or help someone struggling.
Radiate like a diamond,
Be a light wherever you go.
You’ll never need a spotlight -
You’ll shine from within.
That’s the most beautiful thing of all:
Kindness, love and hope with a smile.
Make that smile yours.
That’s what the world needs more of-
From me, from you..from all of us.
Let’s set it all on fire, starting with our hearts.
You’d be amazed what you can do with a little passion, love and magic.
Starting tomorrow, I think I'll see just how much goodwill i can spread.
Care to join me?
I write of love often, but this is the love that matters so much..
Selfless love for each other.
One small act, one heart, one kindness at a time.
